Canvey Island June 11th 05

A good day was had by all those who came.

A big thanks to Richard for organising the event. It is nice to see a club with such enthusiasm for what they have done and for future plans. The ground level track was a good proving ground for the Hercules which could be let loose.

 

Not actually a double header but a dummy chassis and a Trojan.

Tony Walkers new Hercules.Once again a well detailed model to a standard which I would struggle to obtain.

Above and Below - A new improved kiddy coach. In an effort to make a coach more stable I designed a coach which is close to the ground as possible. This has meant slinging the chassis between the bogies. As a result the bogies stick out the ends but seat height is under 200mm from the rails. I couldn't help but extend it and add a middle seat to help improve the looks. If I ever get the time I may articulate this coach with another and possibly an adult section.

 

Sorry but with such a long track I ended up driving more and forgot to take pictures. I am sure I will be returning in the not too distant future.

Paul
